The joys of press releases vs. actual scientific papers.

  The innovation is personalized hydrogels built to avoid rejection, not the induced pluripotent stem cells which were re-differentiated into things. The key was the structural materials which hold those cells. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.201803895 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.201803895

    That makes sense but is hydrogel rejection really a thing? I thought hydrogels were already safe from rejection because they don’t contain anything the immune system sees as a threat. Same goes for collagen, no?

  Gotta love HN as there's always someone with deeper understanding who can give a critics view of "breakthroughs" we find in the news
